    Hi

    I just need the Video (1600x1200 and 32 bit, because I want to use with Viewsonic VA1703WB WideScreen (1440x990)) and USBs, running in Linux

    The Toshiba Dynadock is really amazing, but in this page https://www.klabs.be/~fpiat/linux/hardware/Dynadock_on_Linux.html
    say "The Display doesn't seems to be supported under linux"

    Targus USB also is good but just support 1280x1024

    Targus with Express Card have a bad comment here http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showpost.php?p=52335&postcount=4
    however not is determinant

    I have read than Targus has been tested in Linux

    Kensington http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=4014

    And the option the which, I like it, is Belkin Docking Station, the problem I am not sure if is working under Linux, also seem be than this belkin docking station is available with USB connection instead of Express Card

    After of all, I dont have Express Card Slot, but I found a adaptor USB to Express Card, the bad can be the decrease of bandwith in the connection, the which can decrease of quality

    What docking station can you suggest me, and that will run under linux?

    Best regards
